Moderating Via Email

You can moderate through email by replying to the commenting notification. Respond in the body with "Delete", "Approve", or "Spam". Respond with anything else to approve the comment and post your message as a reply comment.

Tip: Email auto-responders may automatically approve comments and create reply comments. It's best to temporarily disable email notifications for moderators using auto-responders to prevent unwanted comments from appearing.

Controlling Commenters & Spammers

  • DISQUS will alert you to commenters with a low reputation by adding a 'Low Rep' indicator below the commenters name.
  • To see what types of other comments a user has been posting, click on the his/her name. Comments they've added on other sites will display in a box on the right.
  • Add valid commenters to the whitelist. Add spammers and other invalid commenters to the blacklist. (Whitelist/Blacklist Help: http://docs.disqus.com/help/55/)
